How ethical are your nappies?
A large deciding factor when it comes to using real nappies is that they are less harmful to the environment than their disposable counterparts, not to mention they countless pounds they will save you in the long run. But do we lose sight of the ethical practicalities when it comes to choosing our nappies?

An interesting little note…
After 30 hours of the Nappy Addict Quiz going live, 36 real nappy mamas have taken the test….. and to the question ”If you won a lifetimes supply of disposable nappies, absolutely free, would you use them instead of your cloth nappies” every - single - person said …..’No way!’…
…now what does that tell you about cloth nappies? That they are a hassle, a nuisance, gross?…..I think not!! It just goes to show…. when you try ‘em, you love ‘em!
We are feeling the real nappy love….go mamas!

Exciting News- The Leicestershire Real Nappy Network
Reinstatement of the Leicestershire Real Nappy Network
Today saw the reinstatement of the Leicestershire Real Nappy Network- representatives from a host of related arenas attended a meeting held by the Leicestershire County Council to discuss a more centralised approach to the promotion of Real Nappies in the area.
Alongside health visitors, councillors, advisors, agents, nursery workers, waste managers and nappy manufacturers, I of course attended the meeting, in which some very encouraging future plans were drawn up.
The meeting kicked off with a council officer speaking about the Waste Prevention Project, and its aims to change peoples behaviour in order to reduce waste, and increase recycling and composting. The council, as with the rest in the UK, are subject to millions of pounds worth of fines for excessive waste production- and as the councils money comes from each and every taxpayer- this is everyones problem!
The general aims are to increase advertising and promotion, re-vamp the lending kit and cash-back schemes for local residents, and to change the perception of real nappies into more of a ‘normal’ and ‘mainstream’ thing to do. One fantastic way that this is being achieved in the Loughborough are is through the commitment of Shelthorpe Day Nursery. With the backing of the council, they have successfully created a daycare that uses nothing but real nappies for its children. They do all their own laundry, and it of course saves the parents a fortune from not having to supply disposables every morning! They are heartwarmingly enthusiastic about the scheme, and the plan is to implement this in more nurseries around the county. Fab stuff!
There will also be an increase in Nappucinos run in the Leicestershire area, so if there is currently none held near you, do not fear- chances are there will be one soon!
So, keep an ear out for more from the LRRN- as we mean business!
